Seemandhra Elections: Fight Between Development & Corruption

TDP+BJP ALLIANCE IN SEEMANDHRA

Seemandhra Elections: Fight Between Development & Corruption

In the ensuing elections scheduled for 7th May 2014, the people are coming to clarity with regard to manifesto (declared and hidden) of political parties.

Hyderabad: The elections for Seema region of AP state are scheduled for 7th May 2014. Here, on paper, the major fight will be between Chandra Babu Naidu’s TDP and YS Jagan’s YSRCP.

Till some time back, the surveys predicted huge majority for YSRCP in Rayalaseema area (4 districts) of the state and it is predicted that TDP would sweep coastal region of the state (9 districts).

With the changed political equations, (alliance of TDP & BJP), the scenario is going to totally change.

The congress is dismal in this region. Though congress’ leaders like Chiranjeevi, Raghuvira Reddy, Botsa Satyanarayana etc., are claiming contra. The bus yatra (by top congress leaders to revive confidence in congress cadre) could hardly get any response whereas the new found Pawan Kalyan’s Jana Sena Party has been able to get support from the people of this region. The political ideology and also the poll alliances of this new party are yet to be clarified.

BJP is able to find some takers with the consolation that it could manage ‘package’ for Seemandhra in the T-issue. TDP has been receiving increased support from people without barriers of caste, region. Moreover, the number of leaders joining TDP from other parties is increasing. The added support for TDP is coming in the form of poll alliance with BJP. Though the seat sharing and seat allocation under alliance is yet to be announced, it is clear indication that this alliance between TDP & BJP would be a win-win situation.

It is advantageous for BJP because it can get an entry into this region where it has no seats till date. TDP will be benefited with the Modi wave that BJP would be bringing.

People of this region are also comparing the administration of TDP vis--vis the ruling by congress for the last 9 years. People understand that the congress government has only dedicated its time and energy for ‘scams’ and with no benefit to the people of the state. Earlier rule by YSR is full of scams (the magnitude of volumes is yet to be identified & established).

Naidu is clearly able to show his cause by his manifesto as well as his knack in forging alliance with BJP. This will definitely add to victory of TDP + BJP alliance in the coming elections.
